What program do you use to build sites with CSS/HTML?

[fertileneutrino]

I'm just getting into this and I don't know which program to use for development (i.e., some interface that compiles the code and shows the website)

Thanks,

gedit or any text editor. They give you flexibility and efficiency with the code. You can't always do what you want with a wysiwyg program. The wysiwyg programs can also produce code that is twice as large as knowing how to code CSS and HTML in a text editor.

gedit and Geany.

JEdit is not bad, I really like using it because its cross platform. Only downside, is that is gets a little boggy once in a while.

Kompozer is fairly easy to use and learn with.

Kompozer is ok (yes it does produce somewhat bloated html but the CSS editor is quite good). Kompozer development has more or less stalled though. There is also a fairly new wysiwyg one called Bluegriffon which is being actively developed. The main downside of Bluegriffon is that some of the more useful features are in the form of add ons you have to pay for. Another thing to look at is Bluefish which is not wysiwyg but does seem to be quite popular.

Try komodo Edit has a built in browser see what your doing as you go ...

I write my php/xhtml/css in gedit. I used to use notepad++ but then I went all Linux. HTML and CSS are rendered directly by your web browser so just open a browser (Chrome :KS) and keep refreshing it as you make changes.

Any text editor, but one that does html/css highlighting would be helpful. I use to use notepad++ on windows, not sure what's available on linux. There's no compiling, all you do is save it as .html or .css instead of .txt.

You can also use IDE's like netbeans although it's way more than you need for simple css and html. However they are good for managing alot of files if you have alot of html pages and that and they do alot of helpful things like autocomplete what your typing, close tags for you, highlighting, hints etc....

But a simple text editor is best if you're just starting out, it's very manual which means you really get to learn the language well.

Also if you haven't already found this site, bookmark this http://www.w3schools.com/ . It's a great resource for learning and looking up things when you forget.

Then there is Bluefish.

I used to use Bluefish, but the UI isn't all that good, so I switched to TextWrangler. It's a free version of BBEdit.

Then there is Bluefish.
I use Bluefish or Gedit.

Or vim if I am feeling gutsy.

[s.fox]

gedit.
